General Sales Manager Jeff Thyng said the mother of two boys began working there about a year ago. Michael Bubnow, the surviving victim of Sunday's shooting at the Chili's near Interstate 75, began working at Rallye Dodge as a salesman about three weeks ago.

Thyng said that, as far as he knew, Laura Ronson and Bubnow were just friends.

"She brought a lot of life to the store," Thyng said. "She was very bubbly, and she was always there for people. ... It's hard to walk by her work station and she's not there."

The sales manager said Bubnow is the father of two children, a girl and a boy.

"He just came in and didn't even know if he wanted to be in sales," Thyng said. "He just adapted to it right away."

The shooting victims were not just co-workers, Thyng added. "They became family."

The company plans to bring in grief counselors on Wednesday to help employees deal with the loss.
